CASP+ now SecurityX (V5)

Course Overview

CASP+ (V4) has retired for the English exam but will remain available in Japanese and Thai until September 17, 2025. The new version rebranded as SecurityX (V5). The CompTIA SecurityX (V5) certification is a performance-based, advanced-level credential tailored for senior security engineers and architects. It validates your expertise in architecting, engineering, and integrating robust security solutions across complex hybrid environments—while maintaining resilience through governance, risk, and compliance strategies.

With ANSI ANSI/ISO 17024 accreditation and alignment to DoD Directive 8140.03M roles, SecurityX (formerly CASP+) supports global industry and defense standards.

What You'll Learn

Design, implement, and integrate robust security solutions across complex enterprise environments to strengthen security architecture and engineering.
Leverage automation, continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response for proactive security operations management.
Apply enterprise-wide security measures for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid infrastructure to ensure comprehensive protection.
Utilize advanced cryptographic technologies and assess the impact of emerging trends like AI on cybersecurity.
Implement governance, compliance, risk management, and threat modeling strategies to protect enterprise systems.
Demonstrate hands-on expertise in security architecture and senior security engineering within real-world, live environments.

Thank You for Choosing EMIGO

Syllabus Summary

Governance, risk, and compliance

Security program documentation: policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines.
Program management: training (phishing, security, privacy), communication, reporting, and RACI matrix.
Frameworks: COBIT, ITIL, etc.
Configuration management: asset life cycle, CMDB, and inventory.
GRC tools: mapping, automation, and compliance tracking.
Data governance: production, development, testing, and QA.
Risk management: impact analysis, risk assessment (quantitative vs. qualitative), third-party risk, confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Threat modeling: actor characteristics, attack patterns, and frameworks (ATT&CK, CAPEC, STRIDE).

Compliance strategies: industry-specific standards (PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27000).
Security frameworks: NIST, CSF, CSA, and others.

Security architecture

Cloud capabilities: CASB (API-based, proxy-based), shadow IT detection, shared responsibility model, CI/CD pipeline, Terraform, Ansible, container security, orchestration, and serverless workloads.
Cloud data security: data exposure, leakage, remanence, insecure storage, and encryption keys.
Cloud control strategies: proactive, detective, and preventative controls; customer-to-cloud connectivity, service integration, and continuous authorization.
Network architecture: segmentation, microsegmentation, VPN, always-on VPN, and API integration.
Security boundaries: asset identification, management, attestation, data perimeters, and secure zones.

Zero trust concepts: defining subject-object relationships.

Security engineering

Automation: scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python), event triggers, IaC, cloud APIs, generative AI, containerization, patching, SOAR, and workflow automation.
Vulnerability management: scanning, reporting, and SCAP (OVAL, XCCDF, CPE, CVE, CVSS).
Advanced cryptography: PQC, key stretching, homomorphic encryption, forward secrecy, and hardware acceleration.

Cryptographic techniques: tokenization, code signing, cryptographic erase, digital signatures, hashing, and symmetric/asymmetric cryptography.

Security operations

Monitoring and data analysis: SIEM (event parsing, retention, false positives/negatives), aggregate analysis (correlation, prioritization, trends), and behavior baselines (network, systems, users).
Vulnerabilities and attack surface: injection, XSS, insecure configurations, outdated software, and weak ciphers; mitigations include input validation, patching, encryption, and defense-in-depth.
Threat hunting: internal intelligence (honeypots, UBA), external intelligence (OSINT, dark web, ISACs), TIPs, IoC sharing (STIX, TAXII), and rule-based languages (Sigma, YARA, Snort).
Incident response: malware analysis (sandboxing, IoC extraction, code stylometry), reverse engineering, metadata analysis, data recovery, and root cause analysis.

Pre-requisites

Although there are no formal prerequisites, CompTIA strongly recommends:

A minimum of 10 years of general, hands-on IT experience, including at least 5 years of hands-on security experience.
Foundational certifications or equivalent knowledge such as Network+, Security+, CySA+, Cloud+, and PenTest+ enhance readiness.

These recommendations reflect the advanced nature of SecurityX, ideal for seasoned IT professionals aiming for leadership roles in security architecture and engineering.
